Technically speaking, botanists classify the coconut as a drupe, not a nut. A drupe is a fleshy fruit enclosing a hard-shelled stone or seed and composed of an outer, middle, and inner layer. While a nut is a dry fruit consisting of a kernel or seed enclosed in a woody shell.
A nut is technically also a fruit, but a very different kind than the coconut is. While the coconut has three layers around the seed, a nut only has one. At maturity, the outer wall of the nut becomes hard and stony, protecting the seed inside. True nuts do not open on their own when they reach maturity.he coconut is actually a fibrous one-seeded drupe, which is a category of fruit. While some could argue that nuts are also one-seeded fruits and that therefore coconuts are also nuts, they lack any other botanical characteristics of nuts.
